Pearls For Wood

Not Home yet

Mr. Somad parked his car when he arrived at a boutique that was not foreign to me. We went out and entered the store.

"Tiara?" said someone I know very well.

"Alica Aunt?" I hugged him and kissed him. Yeah, we're at the Pearl Boutique right now.

"Sore bu Sekar." Alica greeted my mother-in-law.

"Sore, Alica, would you please help Tiara find a party dress and suit for Bayu?"

"Of course you can, come here, Ra!" alica softly pulled my hand, bringing me closer to some of the party dresses available there.

"Look, these are the latest models of this boutique, and this one feels like it fits your skin and body, Ra."

"Try it first, son! If you have this steady we just find a suit for Bayu." said mama Sekar.

After finishing picking and trying out some party dresses, I changed to look for a suit for Bayu. I chose the same color as my dress.

"Ra, how are you and Bayu?" ask aunt Alica suddenly. While I saw Mama Sekar who was choosing a dress.

"Good aunt, sister Bayu is also fine."

"Thank God, auntie's happy to hear that."

"Son, are you done choosing?" mama Sekar asked with a suit and dress in her hand.

"Have ma, come ma, let Tiara take the cashier."

"Tante Alica, Tiara's a cashier first." Alica nodded and smiled, I passed by walking hand in hand with my mother-in-law.

"Everything is Rp. x.xxx.xxx,- mbak." I took out the Debit Card from the wallet, but soon Mama Sekar gave a Credit Card to the cashier.

"Just use this instead."

"But, ma- . . .?"

"Tiara, as long as you've been your daughter-in-law, you've never given anything to me. Please don't refuse."

"alright. But, just for this time, yes, ma." mama Sekar gave a nod of omen agreed.

At Bayu's house, seen papa Surya was holding a Pearl that was crying. Bayu car entered the yard and parked perfectly.

"Look son, whose papa are you with?" papa said Surya started approaching the car.

"Well, why is this grandma's granddaughter? How to cry baby?" said mama Mila, who smiled at papa Surya, until Pearl moved her hand held by mama Mila.

"Welcome to Ali. Let's go in first mas, mbak." papa Surya shook his hand and hugged him for a while, then asked for both of his iron in. While Bayu lowers the suitcase first and takes it inside.

"Mbok Sumi, bring the suitcase to the guest room!" said Bayu gave the order.

"Where is this, huh? How is this quiet house, Surya mas?" asked Mama Mila who was holding me a pearl that had fallen asleep.

"So she wants to pick Tiara up and go to the store. But I haven't been home for a long time" replied Surya.

"The rich father does not know women alone, they both must be busy and confused to choose a dress" said Bayu invited everyone's laughter.

"You know what Bayu wants." replied Mila.

"Mas Ali, madame Mila, please drink! Think of it as your own home." said papa Surya when mbok Sumi put drinks and some snacks.

"Yes, of course." replied papa Ali nodded then drank his warm tea.

"This is your little daughter's time to take a bath and go to bed, son?" Bayu who approached Pearl and accidentally made her wake up.

"Fin five minutes, how did you wake up?" ask mama Mila.

"You know if you have to take a shower. Later play the same grandma and grandpa as much, huh? Mama, can Bayu hold her?"

"Of course you can, you're her papa." Mama Mila knew very well that her daughter-in-law was also very busy and rarely spent time with her little daughter so she quite understood her.

After a few minutes of chatting there was a car sound that they could definitely guess that it must be Mama Sekar and Tiara who just came home. However, their estimation was wrong because the bell rang, there was no way they would squeeze the bell at home by themselves, right? Mbok Sumi ran to open the door and let the guest in.

"Can I meet Mr Bayu?" say guest.

"Can, please sit down, I call Mr. Bayu first." mbok Sumi immediately stepped towards where his master was.

"Sir, someone wants to meet Mr Bayu." Bayu said goodbye to everyone and met his guest.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Bayu."

"Sore."

"I came here to deliver the order of the father" he said thrusting the pepper bag, Bayu opened and saw it and closed it again.

"Please sign here, sir. I'm sorry, Mr. Bayu." he said resigned after dropping off and got Bayu's signature.

"Thank you." said Bayu.

"Who's the guest, Bay?" ask Papa Surya who saw it pass.

"Courier, pa."

"Courier?" papa asked Surya frowning confusedly.

"Wood go to the room first pa, ma? Mbok Sumi please prepare water for the Pearl and have Lilis bathe her."

"Good sir." Bayu stepped up, climbed every step of the stairs and entered his room.

"It's late in the afternoon, why haven't Tiara and Mama Sekar come home yet?" said Bayu sat in the sofa room and put the papper bag on the table. Bayu loosened the tie that felt strangling his neck and closed his eyes for a moment.
